After March, a more aggressive vaccination rate is expected. (At a pace of 10,000 vaccines per day, it will take over a  year to immunize the entire population [1.37 to be exact]. -SPN)

Common symptoms with COVID19 include fever/chills, persistent cough, loss of smell, and difficulty breathing. If symptoms appear call your health-care provider or 811 right away for further guidance. You can also check your symptoms online.

It is recommended that all non-essential travel continue to be avoided (this includes for politicians of all stripes, for heaven’s sakes!). This includes travel into and out of BC and between regions of the province. For example, British Columbians are asked not to travel for a vacation or visit friends or family outside of their household or core bubble.
